Besiktas tell Norwich to double original offer for Domagoj Vida

Norwich City have been told to up their offer for Domagoj Vida if they want to sign the Croatian this summer.

A report on Fanatik, via Sport Witness, claimed that the Canaries submitted a €10 million bid for the centre-back over the weekend, however, they were knocked back and told to increase their original offer.

It is thought that the Turkish side want €20 million for Vida, who started six of Croatia’s seven games at the World Cup as they reached the final a year ago.

Daniel Farke has a number of options at centre-back in Ben Godfrey, Christoph Zimmermann, Timm Klose and Grant Hanley, while Sean Raggett and Marcel Franke are due to return from loan spells.

Vida, though, would add top-level experience having been involved in numerous international tournaments, the Champions League and Europa League racking up almost 400 games in his career.

The 30-year-old joined Besiktas in January 2018, which puts them in a strong position to keep hold of Vida if Norwich continue to fall short of the fee they have demanded.
